Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The aromatic character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its aromatic, woody signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Pierced Design is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Tom Ford - Beau de Jour (2019). It opens with Lavender, leads into a heart of Basil, Oakmoss, Mint, and dries down to Amber, Patchouli. The overall character is aromatic with woody and amber facets. As a dupe it stays closer to the skin with softer projection and shorter wear than the original, but keeps the signature accord recognisable - an easy everyday way to enjoy the style.
